cheers for that matt!! i'll be on my way down when the little un gets out of school

If you're quick enough then there's currently one South Stand seat available to buy online with a debit/credit card.

Looks like there's an increased chance rlnowrl.

Far too much apathy around our town re. actually getting off your harris and going to the ground, apparently the pubs are full of Saints-top wearing blokes watching the game on telly whenever we're on Sky. Bizarre.

I hope the new stadium is sufficient a pull to change this over the long term but I have my doubts.

Congrats through gritted teeth on your crowd figures though, great achievement - I can't help but think that a lot of it is as a result of the galvanising effect of a brush with relegation. That really seemed to pull you lot together on the terraces.

thanks matt but i must have missed it, still showing as sold out

Yep, someone has snapped it up online so must have read this thread before you did

It may have been asked before but why are there only 18646 tickets available for the 3 stands open tonight (I know there's a 10% reduction for the South Stand due to H&S) but that equates to approx 500. As the ground holds 25.5K and take away 5400 for the North then the 10% for the south should mean there's 19500 seats available yet there isn't.

There are approximately 1,000 seats included in the stadium capacity that aren't available online (press box, directors box & executive area).

Corporate Seats will be taken into account for the official capacity, and they won't be on sale via eticketing.

So the 3 stands approx have 19.5k seats available then, so if the coperates are taken up by the relevent parties and due to the online ticketing showing 2277 seats left, this now means over 17K will be attendance tonight?

doh

Some seats have already been printed to go on the turnstiles so don't necessarily translate to a 'sold' ticket even though it's unavailable on E-Tickets. Wouldn't be surprised if the crowd isn't far off the 17,000 mark though if there is a good walk-up.

What's the weather like in Wigan at the minute?

sunny, 20-21C

what a fantastic attendance tonight, east and south were packed just shows how much this town loves its rugby league.
